Ambientada en la Italia del siglo XVII, semejante en horrores e injusticias a la España del mismo periodo, LA BRUJA Y EL CAPITAN reproduce el juicio seguido a una sirvienta, Caterina Medici, condenada a la hoguera por la Inquisición. A partir de documentos antiguos y de las actas del proceso, el autor, con delicada piedad, nos muestra el matrimonio fallido de la supuesta hechicera, el obligado abandono de sus hijos, los numerosos amantes y hasta un azaroso 'comercio carnal con el diablo'.

Author
Leonardo Sciascia
Author · 33 books
Leonardo Sciascia (1921-1989) wrote of his unique Sicilian experience, linking families with political parties, the treachery of alliances and allegiances, and the calling of favours that resort in outcomes that are not for the benefit of society, but of those individuals who are in favour. Sciascia perhaps, in the end, wanted to prove that the corruption that was and is endemic in Italian society helps only those who are part of the secret societies and loyalties and the political classes.
